It passes through the center of Gladstone making
lots on that avenue very valuable. A lot near
the center of the town is reserved for the First
National Bank of Gladstone, and prominent

A NEWSPAPER is to be established at once
and additional buildings for stores and shops
erected. The founders of Gladstone own extern
sive marble quarries near at hand from which
can be obtained handsome building stone in un-
limited quantities and it is expected that marble
and granite will be literally used in the con-
structon of the new business blocks. They also
own a yaube Water Power independent of the
Azusa water, having fall of two hundred feet,
which will be used for generating electricity by
which the streets of Gladstone will be lighted
and by which the street will be propelled.
The center of Gladstone is already the estab
lished business center for the whole Azusa and
is surrounded on all sides by productive land un-
der the highest state of cultivation. Business

A Woman's Strange Suicide.

An English woman, 70 years of age,
committed suicide on Saturday night
at No. 1922 Fern street. Camden, under
singular circumstances. Five weeks
ago yesterday she arrived from Eng
land on the steamer Indiana, on a
visit to her son, Arthur Kayless, who
lives at the place indicated, and who
is employed as a weaver in Beatty S
textile mill, in Camden. Her home in
England was in Leicester, where her
husband is the book-keeper for a large
mill, and the family are well-todo.
The deceased had been making a
round of visits to her children, five of
whom are in England. She had in
tended to return home in the course
of few weeks, and was supposed to
be contented and happy. Her son
discovered her yesterday morning
hanging dead from bed-post in her
room. She had smuggled piece of
rope into the room, and after tying one
end around her neck, had thrown the
other over a piece of scantling connect
ing the tops of the posts, and then fas-
tened it around her wrists. In this
manner she had strangled to death.
Her son states that he knows of no
cause for her act.

A New Departure.

Messrs. Pierce s. CARL, the popular
undertakers and furniture dealers now
occupying the old stand of McGear
Brothers on Commerce St., having de-
termined to branch out more extensive
ly in the future, owing to their large and
increasing business, this morning pur-
chased of MCGOWAN & Nichols, pro-
prietors of the PIONEER, one half of
the handsome new building which we
have recently erected. They purchase
the entire half of the structure twenty
feet on Laurel street, running through
the centre of the building 1856 feet to
Cohansey avenue, with a ten foot ex-
tension, fifty feet deep, making thirty
feet front on Cohansey avenue.
This sale gives Pierce & CARL one of
the finest business stands in Bridgeton,
and furnishes them an opportunity for
business push which they have not
heretofore had in the cramped quar-
ters they are now occupying. They
propose to begin the work of erecting
IL bWO-sVOfy DIlch auolliou W tue prop
erty, which addition will extend to
Cohansey avenue, thus giving them
the largest and handsomest sales
rooms in the State south of Newark.
When the improvements are made
they will take immediate possession,
and give the public an establishment
which will not only be an ornament to
the city, but credit to themselves.
Messrs. Pierce s. CARL have the good
will of the public, and the hope is ex-
pressed on all sides that they may still
further augment and increase the
magnificent business which they have
built up within the past few years.

SILVER WEDDING.
Sheriff Shaw the Recipient Of
Many Presents.

1t was the biggest event of the year,
that silver wedding of Sheriff Shaw at
his home in Manumuskin Thursday
evening. The company was SO large
that the house was unable to hold
them when the dinner hour arrived.
One hundred and thirty-nine persons
took dinner, 60 in the house, and the
balance in the yard where tables had
been placed. Nasty" better known
as Uncle Danny Smith, says that he
counted 140, included in which num-
ber was one large yellow dog which
seemed to eat with as much relish as
the balance of the company.
During the festivities Mr.. j. W..
Newlin, in behalf of a number of the
people of Maurice River and Millville,
presented Mr. and Mrs. Shaw with a
magnificent Satin Silver Tea set,
elaborately chased. Mr.. and Mrs.
Shaw both made appropriate respon-
ses. In addition there were also pre-
sented silver and ruby glass cake
baskets, silver and crystal cake basket,
two or three silver cake baskets, silver
ice pitcher, silver and crystal sugar
bowls, napkin rings, silver pickle jars,
butter bowls, knives, forks, spoons
glass sets, glass pitchers, linen table
cloths, napkins, ETC., rugs. and a host
of other articles.

The House That Jack Built.

The house that Mrs. Mary Mcmahon
is building at Vineland will some day
be as celebrated as the one that Jack
built. Mrs. Mcmahon has been the
architect, carpenter, plasterer and
laborer of her own castle. She wears
neither overalls nor apron, but in q
loose fitting robe of brown rep climbs
ladders and carries around brick and
mortar. She is 70 years of age, yet
walks about on top of the house with
the agility of young man. She is
probably the only woman in the
United States who uses hammer
and saw in a professional way, and
who has back pocket in her dress to
accommodate a foot-rule and a pair
Of compasses.

Board of Education.

The regular meeting of the Board of
Education was held last evening.
Members present-Messrs. Lambert,
Miner, Silvers, Bright, Kienzle, Lott,
Ayars, Hort, Nichols and Supt. Sharp.
Supt. Sharp reported that there was
in his hands $,35430.
There was considerable discussion
about arithmetics, and motion made
to adopt BROOKS, which, however, was
Lost.
Mr.. Miner from the Visiting Com
mittee, reported as follows:
'Since the last meeting of the Board
I have visited the Pearl street, First
ward, school, giving special attention
to the primary department. Owing to
sickness, 1 found the attendance in
some of the rooms somewhat dimin-
ished, although comfortably filled, and
none waiting for admission. The chill
dren, with very few exceptions, were
remarkably attentive and orderly, and
the teachers evidently thoroughly in
terested in the moral and intellectual
training of those in their charge. The
school, in my judgment, is in first-class
condition, and any child who is too
careless or obstinate to improve with
such advantages and tuition as there
given is fit subject for the Reform
School or some other place where
more severe measures may be taken
than are allowed in our public schools. "
On motion of Mr.. Miner, it was
ordered that the Secretary notify the
ianitor of Carmel school to open that
school only by order of the Board.
Mr.. Kienzle reported that City Coun.
Gil had done nothing to the Second
ward school property where the rail
road crosses.
Samuel Seeds was appointed janitor
of Loder School, and to receive 30 cents
week.
Supt. Sharp stated that the Board
held mortgage against the property
of Abel johnson. Mr.. johnson has
since died, and the property or por-
ton of it was soon to be sold. He
made a motion which was adopted
that the Secretary notify Mr.. F. b.
Sheppard, the executor, to pay over
to the Board the sum borrowed, 81, 600.
Secretary was also instructed to
communicate With City Council and
ascertain what action they propose
taking in regard to paving in front of
the school properties.
The following bills were ordered
paid:-Western Publishing Co., $l05,
for anatomical charts; j. H. Theis,
$500, for mating.
The monthly reports from the sever
al schools were read and filed.

Going to st. Paul.

About the last of January or the
first of February, Dr. John G. Bowen
and his family will leave this city for
st. Paul, MINI. He is disposing of his
property. The old homestead, corner
of Commerce and Franklin streets,
has been sold to DR.. Matt. Elmer, of
this city, and that popular physician
will establish his Office there. The prop
erty on Atlantic street, upon which is
the row of stone houses, he has dis
posed of to Trenchard s. Crickler, the
machinists, and they propose to turn
the buildings into machine shops.
DR.. Bowen has been in practice in
this city for the past twenty eight
years, while his father practised thirty
two years before him. DIR. Bowen has
had a large practice, but likes the
Western country very well, and thinks
that by going to st. Paul, he will be
able to largely increase his practice,
as he is considered by professional
men to be one OF the best physicians
and surgeons in practice in South
Jersey. The doctor will leave Bridge
ton with the well wishes for his sue
cess CT host of friends.

NO. 2O59
MRS. HOWE'S ARREST.
The Topic Of General Con-
versation.


that Mrs. Katharine w. Howe, the
lady soldier, had been arrested, charged
with illegally wearing a Grand Army
badge, people talked Of but little else.
The opinions expressed about the affair
were many, but the majority believed
it a mistake. Mrs. Howe seems abun-
dainty able to care for herself. She
spoke forcibly at the Justices Court,
and seemed highly indignant over the
affair, which she said was "damnable
persecution"
The law under the authority of
which the arrest was made is an act
of the Legislature which became
law in 1885. The passage reads thus:
"And be it enacted by the Senate and
General Assembly of the State of New
Jersey, That any person who shall
willfully wear the badge of the Grand
Army of tie Republic, or who use
or wear the same to obtain aid or
assistance thereby within this State,
unless he shall be entitled to use or
wear the same under the rules, regula-
tions or bylaws of a Grand Army Post,
duly and regularly organized, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction shall be punished by i'm
prisonment for term not to exceed
thirty days, or a fine not to exceed
twenty-five dollars, or by both such
fine and Imprisonment"
The law is very plain on the ques
ton, but whether it covers the case of
Mrs. Howe, who belongs to the theat-
rical profession, where laws of diff
ferent nature regulate cases, is ques-
ton which must be settled by the
Justice before whom the case was
brought.
Mrs Howe, in her defence, says that
theregular badge of the Grand Army
which she possesses was given her
years ago by some Post, and she has
never made a practice of wearing it
on the street. She does not claim to
be member of any G. A. r. Post, and
only wears the badge on the stage as
she does about fifty other badges and
medals which have been presented her
in different parts of the country.
There is also button which has been
adopted by the Grand Army, which
she wears in one of her dresses upon
the street. This button she says was
given her and placed in her dress by
the Governor of New York, and she
has never removed it.
Mrs. Howe is of the opinion that the
suit which has been brought against
her is backed by other parties. She
says she had trouble in Vineland with
prominent citizen, and since she has
been in this city she claims that this
man has written letters to people here
defaming her character. These letters
have been given in charge of Prose-
cutor Hoagland, who will probably
present them to the Grand Jury for
their consideration as to the advis-
ability of indicting the writer for libel.
This man, Mrs. Howe believes, is
behind the scenes. At any rate, she
promises warm time for her assail-
ants in this conflict, and the little
office of Justice Riley will be crowded
tomorrow when the hearing takes
place.
On the other hand, those who are
pushing the matter claim that the lady
has been representing herself as a
member of the Grand Army, and de-
clare they will prove the charge at the
trial. Whatever may be the outcome.
the excitement for the time will be
lively.

THE ODD FELLOWS.
Session Of the Grand Lodge at
Trenton.
Important Business Transacted.

The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows
last week held two days session
in the Assembly rooms, Taylor Opera
House, Trenton. 1t was a session of
much interest. About four hundred
Past Grands were present, and large
amount of important business was
transacted. Grand Master John l..
Wheeler presented his annual report,
a most commendable document, and
presided very ably and very grace
fully. His decisions and rulings were
all sustained by the Grand Lodge, and
the Grand Master leaves the chair the
most popular officer the Grand Lodge
of New Jersey has ever had.
During the session the secret work
of the Order was ably exemplifed by
Grand Representatives VIM. H. Iszard,
of Camden, and Jas. s. Kiger, of Tren-
ton. The report made by Past Grand
Master Geo. W. Hammell, on the con-
dition of the Odd Fellows Home, was
an interesting feature. The home is To-
Gated on a beautiful site in the vicin-
ity of Trenton, and is in prosperous
state. 1t has four inmates, and is we'll
equipped for the good work of caring
for aged and infirm Odd Fellows.
Grand Master-elect Greaves of Pater-
son, was installed Thursday afternoon
with the usual ceremonies. He Sc
lected P .,st Grand J. w. Trenchard, of
Cumberland Lodge, No. 35, of Bridge
ton, as Conductor of the Grand Lodge
for the ensuing year, and made nnm-
Der of other admirable appointments.
He also selected Past Grand I. II.
Nichols, of Bridgeton Lodge, No. 1879,
as a member of the Committee on the
State of the Order to serve the ensu-
ing year.
There who nv elecIIon Ior Grand
Warden or Grand Representative by
the Lodge in October according to the
report of the Committee on Elections,
consequently balloting began for the
filling of those two important posi-
tions. Past Grand Henry G. levitt,
of Winslow Lodge, Camden Co., was
elected Grand Warden, and Past
Grand Master August Grassman, of
Hoboken Lodge, Grand Representative
for two years.
By resolution the Grand Lodge
decided that the terms of subordinate
Lodge officers should be six months as
heretofore, thus abrogating the one
year rule which had been adopted at
the session of 1886.
The Grand Secretary's Report on
the condition of the Order in the State,
shows the number of active Odd
Fellows to be 1915, an increase of
1,02S during the year just past. Num-
ber of brothers relieved during the
year, 1908; amount paid for the relief
of brothers, $69, 9,506.S1; amount paid
